EXCERPT:
AMANPOUR: “But what's absolutely clear is everybody we speak to, whether it's military, whether it‘s civilian, whether it‘s the civilian leadership or soldiers, they strongly believe that the lack of weapons and ammunition, particularly ammunition, is what‘s causing these incremental new gains by Russia. The foreign minister here told me yesterday that they would not have lost Avdiivka if it had not been for the, you know, as he put it, lengthy debates that have blocked up the weapon supply here, and he said people on the front are paying for it with their lives. And just finally, Boris, I would say that everybody knows, and Putin has said it many times, that he does not believe the West has the staying power, he said it from the beginning, and he is definitely trying to make as much headway as he possibly can while the weapons are still held up by Congress."
